On one hand, I have a BRAND NEW Amazon distribution center in my city ten minutes from my house, which means the “coming soon” food delivery service that Amazon now promises to deliver, featuring ‘freshly made fast-food” delivered to us from some of our fave food joints will soon be accessible to me on Amazon’s website, and that has the fat-guy in me dancing.

On the other hand, I also see what making Denny’s, Chipotle, and Five Guys Burgers and Fries deliverable could potentially do to my, and many other’s, body’s (if I can still even call mine a “body”).

But for those more interested in the business side of this partnership and not the delicious side with fattening repercussions, here are some more details:

Online company Olo partnered up with the shipping giant Amazon to now make some of Olo’s 200 resteraunt client base available at your fingertips at Amazon’s website , via delivery. This fat-tastic news was just made available and we will keep you informed on this story as more details emerge.

What will be their secret to delivering fresh burgers and NOT having them show up soggy and nasty is my real question, and you know they already have that worked out but just aren’t telling us how, and you have to respect that kind of chutzpah.

Also, who cares and why question magic? That takes away some of the fun, when you learn how the proverbial trick is done. I am just glad 2017 has the technology to make getting fetter even EASIER for us as a collective whole!

We really ARE becoming the humans from the movie Wall-E. That film was a prophecy!

Well, at least I know what MY future looks like now, and it looks bleak and DELICIOUS!

Don’t be sending people photos of your ACTUAL weiner to anyone, ever.

As many of you already know, this has been an ongoing problem for ex-politician Anthony(‘s) Weiner and the man himself has been in sex addiction counselling for quite some time (same thing we ALL tell our wives, right South Park, we have a “disease”! Oh man, that is rich).

But there are NO EXCUSES here as this time Weiner sent a dick-pic to an underage girl. That is either the saddest and grossest cry for help ever, or the man just needs to be taken off the streets, as he clearly has a problem.

Seems like a bit of both.

Also seems a New York judge feels the same way, reminding everyone involved in this case that this is a serious crime that deserves serious punishment, and then handing down the sentencing to Anthony Weiner:

21 months in jail. Wow, such cruelty (sarcasm font).

The best part was him breaking into sobs and saying how he “WAS” a very sick man.

WAS?

Are you implying you are no longer that person even though you have yet to serve your time? Wow man, screw “Weiner”, this guy’s got some balls on him, and something tells me those suckers are gonna get punching-bagged once his cell locks behind him.

Now keep in mind, were this your neighbor or a ‘nobody’ accused of the same crime and then sentenced, that person would have gotten a shitload longer sentence (justifiably), but you know how this society works now.

How much you wanna bet he is out in 12 months for “good behavior”?

http://socialnewsdaily.com/67056/the-most-brazen-home-break-in-videos-on-youtube/#respondMon, 25 Sep 2017 02:21:22 +0000http://socialnewsdaily.com/?p=67056We live in a world where even our social media activity can make us a target for burglars. Whenever a burglar knows there’s an empty house he (or she) sees a great big bulls-eye. Whether it’s from a check-in somewhere on your social media account or from an obituary notice thieves are nothing if not inventive in finding those targets. Unfortunately, however, not all of them are dumb enough to catch themselves for us.

But social media is also being used to help people better protect themselves.

Take YouTube for example. Some homeowners are sharing the security camera footage on YouTube and other social platforms in an effort to catch the criminals and help others avoid being victimized.

Let’s take a look at some footage of actual and attempted break-ins that were captured on camera.

Break-in Video #1 – Thieves will look for easy access first. The burglars attempted to find an open door to get into the home, but the homeowner was automatically alerted when they tried to open the back door.

Break-in Video #2 – Broad daylight doesn’t stop four men from breaking in and ransacking a home. After two of the men get inside they signal for two more guys to help them burglarize a home in minutes.

Break-in Video #3 – Even with dogs this guy was able to break in due to a less than secure door. One good kick was all it took to get inside and grab a laptop along with other valuable items.

Break-in Video #4 – A knock at the front door tells this burglar he’s in the clear to go around and pry open the back door. Perfect example of why security camera placement is critical.

Break-in Video #5 – A security gate isn’t a guarantee of safety. These burglars are able to bypass the electronic gate and back their getaway car right up to the door. Just one more reason why multiple layers of security are needed.

Break-in Video #6 – Clearly these two burglars knew there was a dog in the house, but they didn’t realize the owner had a Nest camera that sent automatic alerts. The owner was able to call the police who got there in time to catch the crooks in action.

Break-in Video #7 – Persistent doorbell ringing is often a sign someone may be trying to break into your home. But now you can use doorbell cameras to catch burglars before they get in your home.

You may not need a company to make Facebook posts for you (since you could do it yourself), but there’s a lot we can learn from watching real break-ins that have happened to other people.

There are even instructional videos featuring former burglars that walk you through the steps of what happens during a typical break-in.

Here are the biggest security take-aways from the break-in videos above.

Security cameras have become more feature-rich now that they can be connected to Wi-Fi and live streaming services. That’s why the experts at Nortek Security & Control consider Wi-Fi capable cameras to be an essential part of a smart home security system. Live streaming your security footage assures that you’ll have evidence even if the camera gets stolen.

The sixth break-in video is a testament to how beneficial home automation can be. As long as you have Wi-Fi-enabled security devices, you can use home automation to keep tabs on your home from anywhere, activate security features remotely and know the moment there’s been a break-in.

Devices that allow you to turn your TV on, time lights and control other systems can make it seem as if someone is home when no one is there. As simple as it is, this could be the one thing that makes a burglar second-guess attempting a break-in.

Without proper precautions, a door can easily get kicked in and leave your home exposed. Security professionals and police recommend that you take steps to reinforce doors, among which are:

Get solid wood or reinforced steel exterior doors.

Use a strike plate with 3” long screws.

Use 3” long screws to affix hinges.

Switch to smart locks.

Put a security camera at the front door and let others know they’re being recorded.

Understanding how burglars move through a home on their hunt for valuables helps us stay a step ahead. Keep valuables out of sight (aka away from windows) and hide expensive items where you wouldn’t normally find them.

Be very careful about what you post on social media. Pictures and videos from inside your home give burglars a look at the layout and where valuables are kept.

There is a silver lining to all of this. The latest crime reports from the FBI show that new home security measures and equipment may be helping. The FBI’s 2015 Crime in the United States report shows there was a decrease of 7.8% in home burglaries. Criminals are always going to be around, but at least homeowners are now better equipped to stop them in their tracks.

http://socialnewsdaily.com/67016/social-media-blackouts-when-the-time-is-right/#respondSat, 23 Sep 2017 11:30:29 +0000http://socialnewsdaily.com/?p=67016When Taylor Swift was ready to release her new album, she took a step few celebrities of her caliber have done: she blacked out her social media. Everything she had on multiple platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, and Twitter was gone. Fans reacted with confusion and immediately tried to figure out what it meant. In the end, it meant she was revamping her image and releasing a new album.

Social media blackouts aren’t just for pop singers, though. They have relevance in your life too. Managing your social media presence can sometimes mean going dark when the time is right.

What is a Social Media Blackout?

A social media blackout, simply put, is closing all your social media accounts or removing all your posts so that nothing about you can be found on social media sites. It works whether you post regularly or are only an occasional poster. Even if you had active, sprawling accounts before, blacking them out means removing all posts and sometimes even deactivating the accounts for a period of time.

What are the Benefits of a Social Media Blackout?

The main benefit is that information about you on social media websites is gone. This means that pictures of you can’t be directly accessed, your old updates aren’t available, and any reflection the information has on you is obscured. A social media blackout lets you exist outside of your web presence.

There are two types of social media blackouts. The first kind is removing all your posts so that the account is still active, but there’s no information beyond your name and maybe a profile picture. The benefit to this type of blackout is that you can still use your account to view others’ social media posts or private message people while maintaining the illusion of not using your account.

The second kind is letting your accounts go dark completely. You deactivate them so that it appears your account is gone permanently. This type of blackout is especially useful to people with long social media histories who wouldn’t be able to easily remove all their posts or limit the content to a strict audience. If your account is deactivated, though, you won’t be able to use the private messaging services of the social media site – or view other people’s non-public updates.

Why Shut Down Social Media?

There are a number of reasons why someone might want to shut down their social media account.

Mental Health Break

If you’re extremely plugged into social media, the constant contact might weigh on you. Seeing a barrage of political posts, personal problems, and catfights in comment sections can also be a strain. There’s nothing wrong with taking a self-imposed break from social media – and removing all of your information so no one can engage with you – until you feel like facing it again.

Legal Issues

Removing your ability to post and limiting what others can see is a wise decision when facing legal proceedings. For example, Sherwin Arzani, a Los Angeles injury attorney, explains that there are times when determining liability in a personal injury claim is complicated. Leaving up social media posts gives your legal opponent something to look at and use to attempt to find evidence to use against you in court. It’s better to close down your social media accounts rather than leave them up to be scrutinized and continue making posts if you’re involved in any kind of legal situation.

Job Hunting

Your social media accounts reflect on who you are as a person and can definitely play a role in whether or not you get a job. Whether it’s an internship or a promotion to vice president of a company, consider blacking out your social media accounts while you search for a job and go to interviews. Let your resume and personality shine instead of having an old social media account give a false impression of who you are at work.

How Long Should I Blackout My Social Media?

It really depends on what the purpose of your social media blackout is. If you’re just taking a mental health break, a few days might be enough. If you’re taking a break to job hunt, waiting until you’ve accepted and started your new job might be prudent. When you black out social media for legal purposes, don’t reactivate your accounts or be active on them until your lawyer says it’s a good idea to do so.

Social Media Blackouts and Search Engine Caching

Keep in mind that blacking out your social media doesn’t mean the information will be gone forever. Search engines cache your profile and images in some cases. These will still be available until the page is catalogued again and the changes are registered by the search engine.

There are also websites that cache people’s Twitter and Instagram profiles, keeping copies on third-party sites that are also cached and saved by search engines. Blacking out your social media doesn’t mean that the copies of your information stored on these sites will be removed immediately or at all.

Finally, it’s important to remember that other people can keep copies of your data. Once something is available online – whether it’s a public picture or a private chat – it has the potential to be made public and saved forever. Assume anything you say or do online could end up in the spotlight and plan accordingly.

Social media blackouts can help you control your information and may be useful at various times in your life. The best way to handle your social media persona is to always be circumspect about what you post, but there are still times when it’s better to have no presence at all. If you think it’s time for a social media blackout, go through each site and close your profiles temporarily or remove information you don’t want visible. It may pay off in spades, whether it’s for your mental health, a new job, or a court case.

http://socialnewsdaily.com/67042/10-surprising-facts-about-cloud-computing/#respondFri, 22 Sep 2017 20:49:04 +0000http://socialnewsdaily.com/?p=67042Cloud computing has quickly found itself sitting at the big boy table, after being known as one of the new trendy kids on the block. Through the use of cloud computing businesses of all sizes are now able to accelerate and scale at faster rates than ever before, while also having the ability to lower costs and increase productivity in the process.

As often as the word ‘cloud computing‘ is thrown around, it’s not something that’s very well understood across the masses. To help with this process, today we are going to look at what cloud computing is and also dive into some fascinating facts that make it one of the most desirable and sought-after solutions in both online and offline business in the world today.

What is Cloud Computing and Why Is It So Important?

To best explain what cloud computing is, and how it works, we can simply refer to Amazon, which is now one of the largest hosting companies in the world today. On their cloud computing resource page, they describe it as “Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of compute power, database storage, applications, and other IT resources through a cloud services platform via the internet with pay-as-you-go pricing.”.

However, as fun as it is to read text on something as complicated as cloud computer, visuals are much better. So here is a video to further explain what cloud computing is and how it works.

In reference to why it’s so important, if you are a business owner or manage sales and customer data, you can likely already see the benefits. One of the most used and effective ways to put the cloud to use with a large business or brand is through cloud ERP (Enterprise resource planning). ERP software allows businesses of all sizes to process their management and organization software using a system of integrated applications. Throw cloud computing into the mix and you have quite a powerful and scalable option.

While cloud computing is quickly being adapted into most businesses and brands, it’s also making it’s way into the world of web hosting as well. With shared, virtual and dedicated hosting plans being the norm for creating a new website or blog, cloud hosting is not only the latest trend, it’s also often more cost-effective and powerful as well. One company that has been focusing ‘only on cloud hosting’ solutions for a while now, is JustCloud.

Mind Blowing Stats About Cloud Computing and How Big It Really Is

Now that you have a better understanding on what cloud hosting is and why it’s quickly become such an important component of the internet and businesses around the world, let’s now take a look at some of the crazy numbers floating around in the cloud. As more businesses continue to implement cloud computing into their day to day operations, is it only a matter of time before we see all data and storage hosting focused solely on the cloud? Special thanks to iCorps for their collection of stats, which can be found below.

Savings and Productivity Benefits of the Cloud:

Cloud Computing is up to 40 times more cost effective for an SMB, compared to running its own IT system.

70% of businesses report that they’ve been able to reinvest funds back into their business as a result of moving to the cloud.

The Cloud and Security/Privacy:

In 2016, 77% of companies plan to increase cloud security expenditures for mobile and cloud-based services.

94% of SMBs have experienced security benefits in the cloud that they didn’t have with their on-premises service

The Cloud Benefits for SMBs:

Recovery times for SMB are four times faster for businesses using cloud computing when compared to those not utilizing cloud services.

For SMB, energy use and carbon emissions could be cut by 90% by using cloud computing, saving the environment and energy costs.

Cloud Market Predictions and Stats:

90% of Microsoft’s Research & Development budget will be used to improve cloud technology and security services in 2016.

By 2018, at least 30% of service-centric companies will move the majority of their ERP applications to the cloud.

Experts predict that 40 zettabytes, or 40,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes of data will be held in the cloud by 2020.

It’s predicted that 78% of U.S. small businesses will have fully adopted cloud computing by 2020.

Now that you’ve seen what’s possible through the use of cloud computing, are you ready to adapt these same methods into your own brand or business? If not, you might just continue to find your competition moving past you!

We have half the country underwater, and half the country on fire. We have a buffoon who rubs Cheetos on his face running our country, and yes, we are in talks on a nuclear war. If the war won’t be on a world, nuclear scale, expect a civil war among us, the has versus the have-nots. The disgustingly racist versus the multi-ethnic.

I am not an extremist of any sort, but only sleeping beauty wouldn’t see this all for what it is, and her only justification for that would be sleeping through it.

Be nice to the people you love. Call your parents and forgive them for ruining you as a person in your formative years. Sleep with someone outside of your league.

Afterall….

And I feel fine.

And, and also, the world is REALLY SUPPOSED TO POTENTIALLY END TOMORROW (though it won’t).

We are all 0’s and 1’s, binary code living inside a simulation who have no idea they are A.I. Okay, so this may not be science fact, but it is gaining more and more traction in the science community for just how logical it is based on current technology.

You don’t have to believe in it, you just have to realize that is has potential to exist and within that potential so lies the potential that you are NOT a human being but rather, an advanced A.I (artificial intelligence) going through a set of pre-programmed actions (same drive home, same seven dinners, same “hate you” family) living inside a very advanced computer simulation without being even slightly aware of it.

I know it is depressing but it is also liberating. You aren’t real so morals don’t matter. Sin way, my little A.I compatriots.

They just know what a bad day or two is like. Now the little girl featured below, Virsaviya (Game of Thrones style name much?) is a TRUE symbol of strength and perseverance.

How so?

She was born with a rare condition that places her heart outside of her body, beating visibly just below a thin membrane of flesh.

It is a surreal sight to see at first, but once you see the unbridled strength in Virsaviya and her mother, you realize, your very definition of a good attitude and strength forever changes because of these two.

The condition is actually called Pentalogy of Cantrell, and please click the link and watch the above video to understand more about this condition and this remarkable little girl who does NOT let said condition define her or hold her back.

A Marysville strip club called City Limits Showgirls held a fundraiser where they washed cars while topless on that raised over two thousand dollars for two Sheriffs in the area who were recently wounded.

How, did they pull this off, you ask? They put up a giant tent so any passersby wouldn’t get distracted and drive into a tree or something, they set the hours, and of course, the cars came a pouring in.

Though the police station say they have no affiliation with the strip club, I am pretty sure they are grateful for those altruistic, half-naked women trying to make a difference.

And a topless car wash is about as grand a dream as any I have ever had. Sign me up and someone give me directions, stat!

And to be honest, clowns have always been a source of fear for some people (I blame John Wayne Gacy), so for one father to dress up as a scary clown and try to kidnap his daughter (as a prank) is wrong on so many levels, there should be some jail time for something this cruel.

Witnessed by a woman who called 9-1-1 because she saw a CLOWN CHASING A LITTLE GIRL DOWN THE STREET.

But wait, it gets worse.

So the little girl is running from her 25 year old Father, Vernon Barrett Jr who is in full clown mask, and she runs to a neighbor’s house and begs to be let in while all this is happening because a clown was chasing her. The neighbor then pulls her in the apartment and grabbed a gun, which he pointed out the window and “shot in the air.” Police smelled booze on the neighbors breath and arrested him for firing a gun while intoxicated. Yes, that’s a thing you’re not supposed to do. No one can even be sure he didn’t actually shoot at the clown and miss. But who can blame him. He was drunk and trying to protect a young girl from essentially this:

The girl told the cops she assumed it might be her Dad but was too scared to confirm it, which the police sadly did.

So two men were arrested, and the father blamed the ex-wife (not kidding) and the guy who shot the gun, well, I know I am supposed to be unbiased, but good for him. Clowns who chase little screaming girls down the street should be shot (at, my editor is telling me to use the word “at” here).
